Autosomal-Recessive Mutations in AP3B2, Adaptor-Related Protein Complex 3 Beta 2 Subunit, Cause an Early-Onset Epileptic Encephalopathy with Optic At…

International audience; Early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (EOEE) represents a heterogeneous group of severe disorders characterized by seizures, interictal epileptiform activity with a disorganized electroencephalography background, developmental regression or retardation, and onset before 1 year of age. Among a cohort of 57 individuals with epileptic encephalopathy, we ascertained two unrelated affected individuals with EOEE associated with developmental impairment and autosomal-recessive variants in AP3B2 by means of whole-exome sequencing. The targeted sequencing of AP3B2 in 86 unrelated individuals with EOEE led to the identification of an additional family. We gathered five addition…
Bi-allelic LoF NRROS Variants Impairing Active TGF-β1 Delivery Cause a Severe Infantile-Onset Neurodegenerative Condition with Intracranial Calcifica…

Negative regulator of reactive oxygen species (NRROS) is a leucine-rich repeat-containing protein that uniquely associates with latent transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF- β1) and anchors it on the cell surface; this anchoring is required for activation of TGF-β1 in macrophages and microglia. We report six individuals from four families with bi-allelic variants in NRROS. All affected individuals had neurodegenerative disease with refractory epilepsy, developmental regression, and reduced white matter volume with delayed myelination. The clinical course in affected individuals began with normal development or mild developmental delay, and the onset of seizures occurred within the first ye…
Preliminary clinical efficacy and safety of BMN 701, GILT-tagged recombinant human acid alpha glucosidase (rhGAA), in late-onset Pompe disease: resul…

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal disorder that results from the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase A. It is characterized by motor and developmental regression, seizures, deafness, blindness, dementia and premature death. There are three types of onsets: late infantile, juvenile, and adult. We performed a retrospective chart review of 71 patients (47 infantile, 23 juvenile) evaluated at the Program for Study of Neurodevelopment in Rare Disorders (NDRD) between January 2000 and August 2013. The patients were evaluated prospectively using a standardized protocol. The purpose of the study is to describe the natural course of the disease. In 31 patients only a bas…
Oral findings in Rett syndrome : a systematic review of the dental literature
2010
Rett syndrome (RS) is a chromosome X-linked genetic neurological disorder characterized by developmental regression, particularly in relation to expressive language and use of the hands, together with profound mental retardation, that almost exclusively affects females. The present review describes the 35 cases of RS Publisher in the indexed literature (Medline) ? the first corresponding to 1985 and the last to the year 2007. Certain oral manifestations of the disease are derived from the drug treatment prescribed to control the disease, while others are common to other clinical conditions characterized by convulsion activity, difficulties for correct oral hygiene, walking problems and/or a…
